North American dubstep pioneer DATSIK has announced he will return to the road this fall on the Rockstar Energy Drink Presents The “Firepower Most Wanted” Tour, Powered by PK Sound.  Launching October 2 in Spokane, WA, the first leg of dates will go through December and will relaunch in 2014, beginning January 15.

Joining DATSIK on tour is special guest Funtcase, who will be direct support for the full tour, Antiserum X Mayhem for the first half until November 3, and Protohype on dates starting November 4 through December 1. Sub Antix, Must Die!, The Frim, and Rise At Night will open on two week stints each. DATSIK and friends will bring their bass savvy to such markets as Boise, Reno, Salt Lake City, Dallas, New Orleans and more.  Additional dates for the first half will be announced soon, with January’s dates to be announced later in the year.  The most up-to-date tour routing follows below.

On select dates, his one-of-a-kind “Vortex” DJ performance booth—which was a highlight of DATSIK’s FIREPOWER RELOADED tour last year–will reemerge again, but with a special second phase to it: reincarnated as “Vortex Lumen.” Lumen is reference to light and this new adaption will consist of new lighted bells and whistles. This groundbreaking, real-time 3D-mapping technology created by V Squared Labs, continues to push the evolution of custom visuals and mind-altering effects like that of the original “Vortex.”

Having a novel Firepower line-up and the next level “Vortex” experience, this tour is one not to be missed. The DATSIK fan club pre-sale is happening now at fanclub.missiontix.com/datsik/.   General on-sale will begin Wednesday, July 24 at 9:00am EST through local promoters.  For more information, log on to: www.fpmostwantedtour.com

Meanwhile, DATSIK has made available a new video for the song “Too Late To Say No” from his COLD BLOODED Part 1 EP.  Filmed in Los Angeles, the video—which also made its debut on Rollingstone.com–features cameos from Dirtyphonics, Le Castlevania, Bare and FIREPOWER artists Getter and Protohype.   Look for a new EP from DATSIK to be released later this fall.

About DATSIK:

Earlier this year, DATSIK released the first edition of the two-part COLD BLOODED EP on his own recently established independent label Firepower Records with the second half to be released later this year. With a string of #1 Beatport releases, sell-out tours and a rapidly growing fan base, the Canadian producer/DJ and label boss has entered this year on an exceptionally high note, and with the release of COLD BLOODED he’s already making his claim to an even bigger 2013. For DATSIK, his Firepower imprint stands out as an extension of his revered and applauded musical persona. DATSIK‘s specialty is wrecking the dance floor. Barely out of high school, the Canadian artist and producer inked a deal with Excision’s Rottun Recordings. He released a series of successful singles and EPs and rose to prominence as a leader of the underground dubstep scene in North America. After collaborating with the legendary Korn on The Path of Totality, he toured the U.S. with the group. Then, 2012 saw him release his proper full-length debut, Vitamin D, via Dim Mak Records and featuring the epic single “Evilution” [Featuring Jonathan Davis of Korn & Infected Mushroom]. However, founding a label has always been part of his plan.  FIREPOWER began formally contributing to that landscape with the release of AFK & Hizzleguy‘s 10-song EP, Full Clip. Shortly after, the second signing Getter dropped the razor sharp Psycho EP. Other acts that make up the roster include Barron, Rekoil, Terravita, The Frim, DKS, Sub Antix and DATSIK himself. With tours planned under the label banner and more music on the horizon, they’re well on their way to domination.  Either duck and cover or storm the gates with them. DATSIK’s COLD BLOODED EP is available now on iTunes (http://goo.gl/47cO3) and Beatport (http://goo.gl/rElSR). Listen to the COLD BLOODED EP here: http://bit.ly/10WjGWi.

About FIREPOWER RECORDS:

For DATSIK, FIREPOWER stands out as an extension of his revered and applauded musical persona. “I come from the dark, hip hop-influenced side of dubstep, and I’m trying to create a haven for that style,” he explains. “There are all of these incredible young producers on the rise. I want to elevate them and promote them. If I’m playing a track in my set, I’m likely to sign it and release it. Those are my guidelines, and FIREPOWER‘s dance floor ammunition is my contribution to the EDM world.”  DATSIK‘s specialty is wrecking the dance floor. However, founding a label has always been part of his plan.  FIREPOWER began formally contributing to that landscape with the release of AFK & Hizzleguy‘s 10-song EP, Full Clip. Unveiled in February 2012 on iTunes and Beatport, the collection solidified FIREPOWER as an explosive force to be reckoned with. Shortly after, the second signing Getter dropped the razor sharp Psycho EP. Other acts that make up the roster include Barron, Rekoil, Terravita, The Frim, Diamond Pistols and DATSIK himself.
